They had maybe twelve QLs networked.

used customer provided blank cartridges?

Yes, that's right, well remembered. I now remember sending off a blank
It was my copy was it a copy Rich or the original Microdrive?

- QL Farmer
- Crazy Painter

I recorded the program! One strange thing, it showed a TV advert, Clive
Sinclair was leaping over other computers
of the time and it briefly showed the QL and a price of £645 or
thereabouts, Screen included perhaps! Haven't actually
watched the program as yet but no doubt it'll take me back to my
Adrian,
I think you read the mood of Dave's reply incorrectly. We hear the word
'Implying' only in police drama's where the suspect is being interrogated so
you could be forgiven for getting the wrong end of the stick :-) I too read
Dave's reply and baulked at the use of that one word,
How Excellent is that! Nice one Rich
I have about 100+ Atari 'Woody' 2600 VCS gear, games etc I may be
selling soon.
Very Impressive :-)

Rich,
Whilst I remember a couple of those titles, I've already sent what I had to you
already.
( not that I'm hinting that you still have them, lol!)
Would be nice to see Crazy Painter again, I loved the Microdeal games for QL

Dragon 32. Anyone else remember Space War?
Good luck in your
- I am left with the titles I am

other issues, such as they load a specific sector after loading and use
that code, or the tape is unreadable!

I remember my father getting me one of the curvy black CUB monitors for

would be left running for hours
just so i could marvel at how good it looked.

I like the idea of a Tower defence type game. Plants vs Zombies, h, not
sure the QL can quite
manage PS3 level graphics and I'm not sure the 68000 series can keep up with
the CELL processor but
looking on the bright side, Halo has been ported over to the VCS2600 ( I kid
you not!) and that
